”Don't worry, it is just a visit”
”Wise words… a roolanced at Alina and Jull

”Thank you”
Talen-Jei left and the girls finally sat down
”This town is a bit extreme” Alina said
”No, it is Winterhold that is too lazy co in Winterhold but here, people are always stealing so make sure to keep in mind that everyone has bad intentions towards you”
” Okay”
”How do people live in this kind of place?”
”Haha! You just get used to it”
Riften is actually no different than a modern city on Earth Just a bit lawless and people are more connected, they can smell outsiders easily and these are their nor trades happens outside Riften
”Anyway, set up protection around this room, I paid for a week so let's keep ourselves comfortable The place here is safer than outside but don't trust anyone and keep yourself under your hoods You will get used to the place and people in a day or two so don't hold back and… keep your swords away, use only daggers or throwing knives I will be using Greed though”
”That thing is so creepy”
”Sorry about it”
”Still, that's a lot of rules for a lawless town”
”Exactly, this is 'Riften 101' written a guy who actually lived here for fifteen years… the point is, don't try to look like an outsider or a rich person unless you are pretty famous in town”
”We'll keep it in irls about Riften, it is pretty common for each country to have a Riften but if I was reincarnated in any place other than this town, I would have died of boredo old friends as I expected, and that brings us to the next day

”Eight”
”I see” I patted the girl's head and whispered to her, ”That boy looking at us behind the stall, that is your friend right…”

Even Alina pokedon These kids are the rats as we used to be called e started running down the streets back then The rats are the regular lookouts and cutpurses, they also do the dirty stuff like causing scenes and getting captured instead of the other 'Senior Troublemakers'
Still, there was one rule… no less than ten years old
”Kid, you are an Orphan, right?”
The girl, who started shi+vering, nodded like a broken doll

”That's okay for now Take this girl and give and buy her soirl to Alina and took over Sapphire
Sapphire seeirl around 16, her eyes are sharp and she was glaring at Jull I raised her up from the nape of her clothes to my eye level and started to talk
